RNA - The United States bills itself as a peacemaker, but a newly released WikiLeaks document could point to the country having played a significant role in the heightening of tensions between the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and Syrian rebels in the Middle Eastern nation, Al Bawaba English reports.
The alleged document is a telegram sent from Damascus by US Ambassador William Roebuck in 2006. It detailed specific plans for destabilizing Syria five years before the bloody conflict even began.
Despite the cable having been classified as “secret,” the US hasn’t been shy making known how much it disapproves of Assad. Since 1979, Syria has been listed as a “state sponsor of terrorism.” But a painstaking analysis of the document reveals there may be some truth to the conspiracy theories linking the American government to the creation of the Islamic State group.
